Restaurant Idea!

ABNORMAL RESTAURANTS

Restaurants with a VERY unique twist! 

      You're going on a date and come across this restaurant called: "The Date Place". The restaurant is decorated like an immaculate palace, candles are everywhere, soothing aromas feel the air. 

       You take a table, the waiter greets you with a smile and asks what you'd like to order, he then proceeds to tell you to stay for the live entertainment in 30 Minutes. The date's going well, you both are excited for the entertainment, thinking it will be a nice, soothing band playing love songs. 

       All of a sudden the lights dim, you can see shadows behind the curtains. Once the curtains drop it's something you never expected. The band jumps out, playing hard guitar riffs, singer screaming nonsense into the mic, and pyrotechnics going off all around. 

      The best of both worlds, everything she loves, with a live performance you love! That's just one idea, play around with it and share what you come up with!

The Quartz Way

Sorry for the late post

      I got a little ill over the last few days, regardless I'm still here! I haven't really been able to work with Quartz Composer anymore since my last post, I've got to free up some space so my mac runs at a faster framerate when Quartz is running.

      I did find something interesting though, I used the picture above to create some sort of laser in the background, and to my surprise it worked! It's a really amazing laser effect, even though there us a slight disruption in the middle, that can be easily covered up with a logo, color-changing sphere or other shape, or so many other shapes. 

Quartz Composer Timelines

      Unfortunately, I have not found ANY new information on this, and have searched all over the web. Once I figure this out I'll be sure to let you know, possibly even make a tutorial video. It may be the first or ONLY tutorial on how to use timelines in Quartz Composer EVER!

      Stay tuned for next Wednesday, for more creative inside from Creativity Peak!

I'm still developing this blog, but I'll be sure once I'm done you're going to love it!

The Start

Creativity Peak?

What is Creativity Peak?

      Creative people need some sort of outlet, and this is just one of mine :D I'm really interested in Visual Effects, Programming, Website Building, and Marketing. The funny thing is I'm not an artist at all, I just see what I want in my head, but can never seem to draw it. I guess you can call me a Modern Artist in a sense.

The Past Few Days

      I have been messing around with Quartz Composer, which is a visual programming tool used for effects, animations, and photo manipulation. There aren't a ton of tutorials on it, so I've had to figure a lot of it on my own, right now I'm trying to figure out how to put a Kaleidoscope-like effect behind 6 pictures, a sound-responsive logo, a realtime clock, and 3 sound responsive orbs. No luck so far, but I'm still trying. I'm also making a nice sound-responsive animation for parties and whatnot.

*****Update****

Within a few minutes of posting this, I figured out how to put that background behind everything, send me a comment if you're curious to know how it was done. 

(How to Install Quartz Composer)

A Few Weeks Ago

      I mostly built a website for the Cyphyn Blog but, abandoned it because the company I was using to host, decided to force ads onto my site. So, I'm starting to build it offline, when I started I knew absolutely nothing about code, it's intimidating when you think of actually learning a coding language. I started using this site as a tutorial, and managed to learn it in 3 days! During that whole time I was building the Cyphyn Blog website, which helped accelerate me in the learning process, I really am a hands-on type of person.

My Primary Photo Editing Tool Is

      Photoshop Elements 10, It's just an INCREDIBLE piece of software. There is so much to do with the stuff that's already built into it, it's kind of like using the RGB (Red,Green,Blue) scale to create an infinite amount of colors. 

Well, that pretty much sums up the introduction. I'm going to try my best and post something every Wednesday at about 12 PM (PST)

Feel free to comment/share/interact/ask questions/ and all of that other stuff :D
